+Subject: rapidio: handle create_workqueue() failure
+
+From: Anirudh Rayabharam <mail@anirudhrb.com>
+
+commit 69ce3ae36dcb03cdf416b0862a45369ddbf50fdf upstream.
+
+In case create_workqueue() fails, release all resources and return -ENOMEM
+to caller to avoid potential NULL pointer deref later. Move up the
+create_workequeue() call to return early and avoid unwinding the call to
+riocm_rx_fill().

+Subject: Revert "rapidio: fix a NULL pointer dereference when create_workqueue() fails"
+
+From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+
+commit 5e68b86c7b7c059c0f0ec4bf8adabe63f84a61eb upstream.
+
+This reverts commit 23015b22e47c5409620b1726a677d69e5cd032ba.
+
+Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
+commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
+correct or not.
+
+Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
+below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
+later kernel change.
+
+The original commit has a memory leak on the error path here, it does
+not clean up everything properly.
